French-sounding guy
Bon soir mes amis
Welcome to the Cafe le Cabotin
Now we come down to this island in the sun
And it ain't been easy trying to get a day's work done
But tonight's the night we're gonna have ourselves some fun
We're gonna have some fun.
We're gonna go downtown to the Cafe le Cabotin
Where the baron is waitin' to welcome the rock and roll band
And if get a little crazy, the baron will understand
He'll understand.
Night and day, night and day
We will burn our boats and sail away
Ridin' high, ridin' high
We will leave our mark and say goodbye.
Now the place is jumping, the party has just arrived
Sing away the blues put the light back in your eyes
Yes on a night like this it's good to be alive
Just to feel alive.
Night and day, night and day
We will burn our boats and sail away
Ridin' high, ridin' high
We will leave our mark and say goodbye.
But the daylight comes, it's time to let it be
Yes the sun is up and shining on the sea
It was one more night and one more memory
Just a memory.
Night and day, night and day
We will burn our boats and sail away
Ridin' high, ridin' high
We will leave our mark and say goodbye.

Gerry Rafferty (1947-2011) was a Scottish singer-songwriter and guitarist known for his folk rock style influenced by blues. Born in Paisley, Scotland, Rafferty began his musical career in the 1960s with the groups The Humblebums and Stealers Wheel. With the latter, he achieved international success in 1973 with the single "Stuck in the Middle with You", which became a rock classic. After the dissolution of Stealers Wheel, Rafferty embarked on a successful solo career, releasing albums such as "City to City" (1978) and "Right Down the Line" (1980), both characterized by catchy melodies and introspective lyrics. His most famous song is probably "Baker Street", a 1978 single that topped the charts in many countries thanks also to the famous saxophone solo. Rafferty continued to record music until the late 1990s, although he never reached the commercial success of his early years. He died in 2011 at the age of 63.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
